You said they stopped taking the dog with them places cause he shits in the car....why doesn't one of them just stay home with dog instead? Assuming we aren't talking about work. If it its just errands or things that one can do on their own, it should be pretty simple. And the times that both *have* to be gone will be fewer and your frustration levels will be lower when dealing with the dog then.

Yeah, he's a puppy and this is what they do, but they are also the owners and need to make some changes to match their current reality.

Exactly. I don't know any dog psychology, but I have a feeling that dogs should not be left alone in that age. It is scared being alone and I wouldn't take the risk that it will grow up wrong because of that. Our dog got some weird traumas because of some stuff that happened to it when it was young. It will cause more trouble later on if it isn't getting what it needs now.

well they can train it not to poop in the car, since he's still a puppy's poop and piss on things that's what happens you have to train them not to bark and not to poop just tying him up won't solve anythng.

yes crate, excellent idea our dog loves his crate. and putting a sheet over it does help.he also has a house in the living room as a place of his own (it's one of those big litter boxes with a lid we put down some foam and wrapped a sheet in their and threw in some blankets he loves that thing in fact sometimes if you try to get him to come out he'll growl at you. you know a place he can go to feel safe, you could leave the door open to the crate during the day.

Srsly, this is normal puppy behaviour. They chew shit. They don't like being alone and they WILL cry and whimper for company. Also, puppies can be very mouthy/bitey.

Sounds like your friends shouldn't have a puppy in the first place, since they don't seem at all willing to put in the time and effort to train it properly. Also, yeah, as mentioned, if one hates a certain type of creature, probably best not to arrange to cohabit with said creature.
